Safety Rules - Read and Save These Instructions

To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned off

at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.

All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code

“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation

should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this

fan with any solid-state fan speed control device. It will permanently

damage the electronic circuitry.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the screws

provided with the outlet box.

The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and

capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only UL

Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.

The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the

trailing edge of the blades to the floor.

Avoid placing objects in path of the blades.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be

cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.

Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry

dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned

upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be

spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding

conductor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the

other side of the outlet box.

All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before

installation.

Attaching the Fan Blades

WARNING

MAKE SURE THE TAB ON THE HANGING

BRACKET PROPERLY SITS IN THE GROOVE IN

THE HANGER BALL BEFORE ATTACHING THE

CANOPY TO THE BRACKET BY TURNING THE

HOUSING UNTIL IT DROPS INTO PLACE.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,

DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE

INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR

CLEANING THE FAN. DO NO INSERT FOREIGN

OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

Blade Balancing

Check that all blade and blade holder screws

are secure.

Most fan wobble problems are caused when

blade levels are unequal. Check this level by

selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of

one of the blades. Measure from a point on the

center of each blade to the point on the ceiling.

Measure this distance as shown in Figure 15.

Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned

for measurement. Repeat for each blade.

Measurements deviation should be within 1/8˝.

Run the fan for 10 Minutes.

Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the

blade wobble is still noticeable.

The following procedure should correct most fan

wobble. Check after each step.

ATTENTION

FAN INCLUDES A 190W LIMITER TO COMPLY

REGULATION. LAMPING THIS PRODUCT OVER

190W WILL CAUSE THIS FAN TO NOT LIGHT.

PLEASE USE BULBS WITH A TOTAL WATTAGE

UNDER THE 190W REGULATION.

Operating Your Fan

Turn on the power and check the operation of your

fan. There are two pull chains available in your

fan:

1. 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan speed as

follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls- Medium, 3 pulls-

Low, and 4 pulls- Off.

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend

on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,

number of fans, and so on.

2. Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in

"ON" or "OFF".

The Reverse switch is located on the light kit

assembly. (Figure 19) Slide the switch to the Left

for warm weather operation. Slide the switch to

the Right for cool weather operation.

NOTE

WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE REVERSING

THE DIRECTION OF THE BLADE ROTATION.

Figure 21

Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)

A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as

shown in Figure 20. This allows you to set your air

conditioner on a higher setting without affecting

your comfort.

Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An upward

air flow moves warm air off the ceiling are as

shown in Figure 21. This allows you to set your

heating unit on a lower setting without affecting

your comfort.

WARNING

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX

BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,

“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.

Because of the fan's natural movement, some

connections may become loose. Check the

support connections, brackets, and blade

attachments twice a year. Make sure they are

secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from

ceiling.)

Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its

new appearance over the years. Use only a soft

brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the

finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to

minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not

use water when cleaning. This could damage

the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an

electrical shock.

You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to

the wood blades for additional protection and

enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a

light application of shoe polish.

There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has

permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain

your fan.

Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in

the switch housing.

Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub

is tight.

Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or

the interior wall of the switch housing.

Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a

new fan disappear during this time.

If using ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the

glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.

Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It

should not touch the ceiling.

Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used

between mounting bracket and outlet box.

This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess

of 190 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light

kit you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the wattage under

190 watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal

operation.
